Tochal- February 26, 2004 On a boring weekend morning, me, Armond and Ali suddenly decided to climb the 4000 meter summit of Tochal! It was just a sudden joke but we were crazy enough to do it, without proper preparations including clothing! The summit itself was a disaster with a temperature of -25c! But we made it :-) Tehran is located on the outskirts of Alborz mountains, and Tochal is one of them. It also has a nice little ski resort, 2k above sea level I think. The highest summit is Damavand, 5671 above sea...http://www.jroller.com/ara_e/entry/tochal Static Type Checking- February 20, 2004 Judging from this recent TSS thread on generics people ask themselves this question: what's the real value of compile time strong typing Many people argue that the real value of static type checking is that the compiler helps you find problems related to variable types sooner during compilation. Honestly it's very rare to assign a variable of another type to a variable. It happens now and then but very rarely. And the same can be said about generics too. You rarely happen to add an object.http://www.jroller.com/ara_e/entry/static_type_checking |
